A
Resolution to Refer to the Fauquier County Planning Commission a Zoning
Ordinance Text Amendment to Section 5‑205.5 (Additional Standards
for Auto Repair Garages)

WHEREAS,
the Fauquier County Zoning Ordinance currently permits auto repair garages
as residential businesses, with special permit approval, following a
public hearing by the Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals; and

WHEREAS,
the additional standards for auto repair garages state the use is limited
to a maximum of four (4) vehicles as any time; and

WHEREAS, this Zoning Ordinance text amendment
would increase the maximum number of vehicles permitted to six (6); and

WHEREAS, the Fauquier County Board of Zoning
Appeals (BZA) would remain the granting authority following a public
hearing which gives the BZA the latitude to judge each application
separately; and

WHEREAS,
the proposed amendment would not alter the screening, storage and other
regulations currently found in the additional standards; and

WHEREAS,
the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors has determined that such an
amendment would be in keeping with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance as
it relates to residential businesses; now therefore, be it

RESOLVED
by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors this 17th day of June 2002,
That the proposed ordinance amending Section 2-505.5 to increase the
maximum number of permitted vehicles associated with an auto repair garage
from four (4) to six (6) vehicles while maintaining the additional
standards currently found in the Zoning Ordinance be, and is hereby,
referred to the Fauquier County Planning Commission for appropriate
consideration and action.
